Chapter 243 - Pill cultivating

Finally achieving one of his goals took the opportunity to comprehend everything that happened to help increase his Alchemy and enable him to better control his Soul force.

He had difficulty increasing his ability to reach higher grade pills and opted to increase his foundation when producing pills. The quality of his pills are nearly the same compared to higher grades. 

Before him was a hovering multi-colored Saint high grade pill that contained a Pill veins and cloud that was able to absorb the world's energy. This type of energy is rooted to the world which lets the quality drastically increase when exposed to World energy.

This is different from an inner world as it is far from a true world which is why the World energy can only be absorbed into the true world or verse.

'Hmmm...this is surprising?'

Caelum reached out his hand only to be greeted by something that shocked him. The pill was able to cultivate despite only being an elixir and nothing more. 

He had not expected for the pill to gain a will from the fusion of soul, body and mind strengthening herbs. Caelum had produced a sentient pill capable of absorbing the surrounding energy. 

It had taken his interests seeing this as variable where his Omniscient or awareness had not been able to foresee the scenario.

"A pill gaining its own spirit is really something!? Why don't I help you a bit?"

He held out his hand to produce Law energy along with his other energy within his being letting the pills circulate them around it before producing a misty image. 

It was able to easily manipulate the energy surrounding it, allowing it to condense and would have the chance of gaining a body. Caelum only gave a nod letting it grow wishing to know what the result was going to in the end.

Afterwards, he took the Deity root within his Gate of Babylon to allow him gain a mine where he could easily acces Spiritual stone. The Deity Root is a sort of island core where it produces a special stone that contains Heavenly energy which above legend rank use to raise their prowess. 

It didn't take long for his Sea of Consciousness realm to be an abundant floating island giving a mystical atmosphere in the surrounding. Caelum then notices the energy in the surrounding area increase from the presence of Spiritual stone.

This would allow him to break through to the Heavenly Fate realm without trouble from the abundant Spiritual Stone he had. Few months allowed him to produce a few Saint pills with Pill veins and Cloud ro gift his wives. 

He kept increasing his ability in alchemy until reaching the next realm which was the Saint King realm without a pill vein or cloud. Caelum lacks the necessary herbs and ingredients to produce higher grades.

Regardless, his precise control over his soul was second to none allowing him to apply it into his Martial intent. Caelum is able to use his intent to kill someone not only their body but soul. Though, this does not include the Root of soul.

His time spent in the realm was the same in his soul realm therefore his perception of time had not changed when within the Sea of Consciousness. 

Caelum finished his cultivation then checked the Saint pill who had been able to cultivate alongside him. He had not named it until the pill was able to form a body on its own. 

He decided to leave the realm, finding Yu Yan had not finished cultivating and let her be. After standing up heading his way to Yun Ling who he finds outside looking at the break of dawn. Her eyes seem to wish to see far distant land where other humans are. 

"You're quite early."

Yun Ling heard his voice turn, seeing approaching while giving a calming smile. She returns the smile with her own.

"This is just how I wake up. Where is Miss Yu Yan, is she still asleep?"

"She's currently busy cultivating and might take a while."

"Is that so? Oh come let me prepare you some breakfast."

She dragged him into their kitchen and began to prepare a different dish than just porridge. The people in the heavenly Plateau do not have any access to rice therefore only have soup dishes. 

Caelum sat down in front of the table where it was only the two of them. It was unfortunate that Yun Ling was only fifteen, which made the main cast younger. 

He already planned to devour the soul of the alternate timeline Nie Li if he was ever sent back in time. The damn monkey was too immature when compared to a real expert.

'Like what happened in the first scene. He had exposed himself when flexing to the sacred family.' 

Caelum had no problem revealing a few secrets when he knew that he was in full control but Nie Li was not. He was a damn brat who let his emotions get to him.

Though, if he placed himself in his position won't deny the possibility of doing the same yet he is already able to have perfect control over himself.

He has already reached a high level of [Heartforce] that is able to influence the world and better fight inner demons. 

"Here, I hope you enjoy yourself!"

"Thank you, it would surely be delicious when made by a beautiful fairy like you."

Yun Ling's face became red after the compliment while Caelum began to feast on the roasted meat. it lacked seasoning but was enough, consuming the food including the bone.

"T-Thank you but I think Miss Yu Yan is the one who is fit to be a fairy."

"No need to compare yourself to her. I think Young Miss Yun Ling is a beautiful and kind woman."

"I don't want to be rude but how old are you, Tian?"

"I'm surely older than you. Like I said, I'm only in this form due to some problem."

"I'm interested to hear this."

The two turned to see Yu Yan at the entrance to the kitchen finishing her cultivation, letting the Fire law have more control instead of constantly flaring up. 

Caelum had already sensed her coming using his Omniscient. He offered her a seat then went closer taking the chair between the two.

"You said that your current form is not your true form?"

"Yeah, it doesn't hinder me but the only difference is the prowess."

"Are you saying that your true form is stronger?"(Yun ling)

"No and yes. It is not as simple as comparing the two. But yes I am stronger in my true form."

The two were shocked to hear his true prowess was. They were both skeptic while Yu Yan leaned to believing, making her wonder how strong he truly was. 

Yu Yan saw his talent personally which made her believe what he claimed was the truth. She became increasingly interested in uncovering the truth from him.

"Hold on, enough about me. I want to ask you where I can find the village leader?"

"Oh you only need to go in that direction then you'll find our leader. I can bring you there but what for."

"I'll be helping you all grow stronger in exchange for the Heavenly Fate Plateau."

Yun Ling was taken aback at his words then realized how it would change the whole village if they grew stronger. It would increase supply of meat and if fortunate enough domesticate farm animals.

Caelum wasn't worried if they were going to refuse his offer when they were already in a desperate situation. 

At the side Yu Yan felt relieved that he was willing to selflessly help them even if it was not free of charge. He would benefit from them, which is their loyalty. 

Caelum finished their meal and headed alone to the village chief where he told his offer in exchange for people's servitude to him. They did not hesitate knowing it beneficial to have an expert as a benefactor. 

"Of course those who are betrayed, become ambitious and selfish that include their descendants….{Would face calamity where there soul would burn in eternal hell.}"

His voice was calmed yet everyone in the Heavenly Fate Plateau felt something within them trigger. Caelum places a [Curse law] using his [Voice of authority] expanding it through a small radius where they would not be able to severe the deal for eternity.

The village chief and his retainer violently nodded their heads before Caelum left them. He arrived back at Yun Ling home where Yu Yan greeted him with a stern gaze.

"I felt an influx of law and unpleasant ones. Tell me what you did to these humans!?"

"Jeez no need to be mad. I've placed a seal to ensure they won't betray me but I don't rob them of their free will. It will fade once their loyalty is real."

Yu Yan hearing his explanation calmed down yet continued to glare at him for placing a forbidden seal.

"As long as you don't have any ill intention then it's fine."
